- casca 13y agoNot sure that a somewhat supported "... [t]here are thousands of trafficked women in San Francisco ..." makes a reasonable basis for asserting that there are "tens of thousands of people kept captive as sex workers". Not to imply in any way that human trafficking is not a significant problem that deserves our attention, but not as a justification for any laws around AirB&B.
- grandalf 13y agoNY has a significantly larger population than SF and has the same kind of sex worker infrastructure. My point is that cracking down on human trafficking does not benefit established interests, while cracking down on AirBnB does, even though there is clearly great harm to those who are enslaved as sex workers and no harm to those who decide to save money on a hotel by staying in an AirBnB room.
